"Based in the heart of London's West End, this slightly unkempt theatre shows an eclectic range of productions, from drama and comedy to musicals and experimental theatre. Cabaret, bio-sketches, Theatre de Complicit physical theatre and even Gilbert and Sullivan have graced the stage. Its rough-around-the-edges appeal provides a charming change of pace from the other glossy tourist magnets in the area. The theatre holds a maximum of 1,000 people, including seating and access for wheelchairs. There are also facilities for the hard of hearing, and the theatre benefits from an air-cooling system. Well situated and always well attended, this venue promises a great night out. The current production of Jon Miller and Pete Brooks' "All You Need is Love", featuring music by Lennon and McCartney, incorporates the popular culture surrounding Beatles mania and acts as a somewhat shaky tribute. Ticket prices: £12.50-£35 (concessions at £15 may be available one hour before the performance) Running times: 2.25 hours"
